Dialogues are the worst part of Portal 2 and that means a lot, because I find many parts of the game bad or not good. like the graphics which are truly terrible for a 2011 game , ( Half-Life 2 graphics were far better ) musics which look like they are from some kid TV-shows and of course, the puzzles which are easy and not rewarding like they were in the first game. so far, the game is a massive disappointment, but I only want to talk about dialogues which I didn't expect to be so bad. writers tried hard to make dialogues witty and funny, but not only they are not, they are somehow annoying and because of their enormous length, they take your focus for solving the puzzles. specially Wheatly dialogues which were so stupid and annoying that I wanted to puke. in the whole game, the only good dialogue I found was this:

" Science is not about why, it's about why not. "

You might think I'm trolling, but don't but Portal 2 if you haven't already. The whole game is filled with gimmicks to make fool of you, if you are Valve fan or easy to impress, you will fall for them. but if you see the game with the eyes of judgement , you see nothing good about it. just an exhausted and sub-par overprices product.

musics which look like they are from some kid TV-shows

Sign-Number-Two

please teach me this skill you have that allows you to see musics.

And also, why should other people not buy a game because you dont like it? quite frankly i dont give a damn wether you like the game or not, as it has no impact on if i do or not.

I like the little British robot and i like the music music a lot.

It's also a genuinely funny game.

I will agree that some of the dialogue seemed forced, they tried to make a joke after every puzzle but most of it was funny.

JK Simmons was gold :)

"How are you holding up, because I'm a potato" How can you not laugh at that.

So, agree to disagree?

And this is a bad thing? Kids show produces some pretty decent tunes so I don't know how this is a point of criticism. Especially when you consider the E rating on the game.

Are you kidding me? The dialog is hilarious, which is it's purpose. The game was incredible fun and entertaining. If you seriously though it was suppose to be a dead serious game than you must not have played the first one. It was gold, like most valve games.

Well, I can't, because I don't know it myself. I mean seeing music is a way too much epic skill for me to handle. :) And also Internet is a place of sharing opinions. there are both negative and positive, I didn't order anybody not to buy the game, it was just a friendly suggestion and I gave my reasons for it.

I like the little British robot and i like the music music a lot.

It's also a genuinely funny game.

Well, it had some good dialogues and funny parts ( like the one in chapter 5 , damaging the droid production, no further spoilers ) but they were one out of hundreds.

Well, I am not that kind of guy who considers these things positive. I actually consider lack of swearing and pervert material as a respectable aspect of Portal.

I found it went too far at times. SP bored me cause you are lame lady. It woulda been GOTY if I was super soldier with teh leetest armor, and in all black, only my eyes visible, and no personality.

True story, in fact I never even finished the SP cause of this.

Luckily co-op was very fun because you are robots, and robots are inheritly cool.

I played thru r6v2, and that game wasn't even very good. But because I am look awesome like dis, I beated it.

Well, thank you for your support Generalshowzer. But I didn't understand your meaning by writing " It's not a game for everyone. ". If you meant guys like me are too dumb for these kinds of games, I have to say one of the main reason that I disliked Portal 2 was the fact that it was way too easy.

Well, I don't find any paradox there, I said "you might think I'm trolling. " , not "I'm not trolling." and also, I was serious about puking during Wheatly's stupid dialogues.

Also you guys are hurting my feelings calling me a troll. if I really had the intention to troll, at least I would do it in a funny way. The reason I made this thread was to see if anyone thinks the way I do about Portal 2 dialogues or not.

Bad trolls can't be funny, also bad trolls will keep making "valid" points after somebody dismisses their previous "valid" arguments and still think they're in control.

If you want to feel dumb wait for custom maps or play some intense Portal 1 ustom maps.

Well, You can create some puzzles with Portal mechanics that someone requires IQ above 200 to solve, that's true. but we are judging the main game itself. I don't approve high difficulty myself, but you should feel a bit challenged at least. and also, one of the reasons that I am being so harsh on this game is the reason Gabe Newell called it Valve's best game to date. that raised my expections pretty bad. I was truly waiting for a juggernaut. but the only thing I got was a cockroach.

I disagree :D

I thought the dialog was generally amusing and sometimes outright hilarious.

I thought the graphics were fine. Not Crysis, but the use of environmental animations was great, sometimes outstanding.

The music certainly didn't bother me.

I thought a lot of the puzzles (especially near the end) were a good pit harder than in the first game. Not all that hard, but harder than the first game.

It was an amazing adventure for me. I found that maybe the dialouge was a bit much in places, but overall very funny. It would be a perfect game if they got rid of the loading times and added some sort of challenge mode (but they are doing this with DLC).

I found the GlaDOS and the british robot to be some of the most realistic characters in any video game.

It is probably helped by the fact that robots don't have to look human.

I thourougly enjoyed Portal 2 as much as 1 and it's one of my favorite games.

I liked the graphics. They were very clean without huge amounts of bloom added.

I also liked the music especially the singing robots.

The game was well scripted too so things carried out smoothly for me.

There were also many small nuisances.

I liked that the game doesn't force feed you the plot.

It doesn't outright tell you things. It merely hints at them during dialogue.

I liked how when you get to the bottom levels you start at the 1950s and move up to the 1980s and The announcer's attitude even changes a long with the differences of society at the time.

I like the small details added to the factory which was building the turrets.

The game was great.

I don't agree with what you're posting at all Sign-Number-Two. I really enjoyed Portal 2 and i found some parts of it genuinely laugh out lout funny. Cave Johnson: Say goodbye Caroline. Caroline: Goodbye Caroline. Cave Johnson: She is, a jem! hahahahahahaha ^ :D Anyway yeah, Portal 2 improved in just about every way, i totally disagree with you except for the fact that it was a bit too easy.

I have a feeling you couldn't finish the game because the puzzles were too hard for you and you don't want to admit to that. So you are looking for any excuse to say you couldn't finish it.

I think the dialog was full of light hearted humor. It was pretty much the only reason to play the game. The puzzles themselves were meh but that's probably because the gameplay isn't new like Portal 1 was.
